In the palace, the queen mother's bedroom palace Yiluan Palace, the queen mother Wei is wearing a black wide-sleeved robe, decorated with yin red embroidery, gold thread intertwined patterns, complex and gorgeous, with gold silk inlaid ruby double luan dot emerald step sway.

With his hands superimposed, his eyebrows dyed with frost, sitting on top of the phoenix, Mama Zhuang whispered in her ear beside her: "Queen Mother, Da Sima Li Dendrobium is waiting outside the hall." ”

"Come in!"

Li Shizhen walked in with awe-inspiring steps, and saw the Empress Dowager Wei sitting on the phoenix couch, and said with her eyes: "Minister Li Shidendrob sees the Empress Dowager, I don't know what happened to the Empress Dowager Xuanweichen?"

Li Shiwei is loyal to the royal family and has a lot of complaints about the Wei family's control of the government. Empress Dowager Wei naturally knew his thoughts, and ordered Mama Zhuang to serve tea.

Turning his eyes to look at Li Shidendrob, "Li Guozhang, we are all a family, why be so polite." At the beginning of this country, the emperor was sick and the mourning family was very worried, and the mourning family was always uneasy, and the mourning family wanted to set up a prince as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people. The ceremony was set for a month later, and the matter was still bothering the national abbot. ”

The Queen Mother wanted to tell him that this country is still the country of the Qi family in the end, and the people who sit on the country are all his closest relatives.

"Queen Mother, the preparation of the ceremony should have been supervised by Feng Chang, and I'm afraid it's not good for Weichen to come forward!"

"Guozhang, this queen is your daughter, and the prince is your grandson, and the mourning family is afraid that they will treat their mother and son badly. After all, this prince is the future emperor.

Li Shidendrob is most unaccustomed to the Wei family's martial arts and prestige above the court, how can he not see that the queen mother is so popular.

Now that her daughter and grandson are in her hands, the emperor is too weak and will no longer go to court, so he can only hope for the crown prince.

"Weichen takes the order!"

At this time, Mama Zhuang came over with tea, and Empress Dowager Wei took the teacup and handed it to Li Shidian in person.

"Guozhang, this is this year's Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, the soup is bright and fragrant, you might as well try it!"

Watching Li Shiwei respectfully walk out of the Yiluan Palace, the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of coldness.

"Queen Mother, can this Li Shidian really be trusted? He has always been very opposed to your interference in court affairs. ”

"Don't worry, he Li Shizhen is a daughter of Li Shu, and the mourning family is his grandson, as long as the people of the Wei family do not become emperors, the world is still praying, and he Li Shidendrobium will die for the mourning family. ”

"The Queen Mother, in a few days it will be the emperor's twenty-third birthday, this mother and son have no overnight feud, you will go to see the emperor. ”

As soon as he mentioned his son, his heart was full of disappointment, after all, it was the meat that fell from his body, how could he not feel distressed.

"The palace is tired and wants to lie down for a while, you go and prepare some things that the emperor likes to eat, and bring them over later. ”

There is a quiet courtyard on the west side of the Zichen Palace, where there are sycamores planted in childhood.

Qi Yu was dressed in a light blue shirt, his hair was messy, his expression was depressed, and he was lying on the rattan chair under the plane tree with a wine bottle in his hand, and the dappled light pierced a dazzling white in front of him.

Stretching out his hand to block the light, he looked at the bunches of pale cyan sycamore seeds hanging on the plane tree, the wine bottle in his hand fell off, and the wine poured all over the ground.

The eyes were full of tears, sliding down the corners of the eyes, and the misty thoughts seemed to return to childhood.

A handsome young man of fifteen or sixteen, holding an almond cake in his hand, came to the Yinfeng Pavilion in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Qi Yu knew that Su Juan's favorite was the almond cake of Zui Xiangzhai, and he didn't need to pass it on when he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

When I came to the plane tree, there was no trace of Su Juan on the swing frame, and when I looked up, Su Juan actually stood on the branch and stretched out his hand to pick a sycamore seed.

"Ah Juan, why do you climb so high, if you want that branch, Brother Yu will pick it for you. ”

"No need for Brother Qiyu, I'm about to catch it. Sakura bit her lips slightly, stretched out her hand and finally grabbed it, her face full of joy, this is the first to ripen a sycamore seed.

Suddenly, Su Juan didn't look at his feet, the whole person fell from the tree, Qi Yu threw the almond cake in his hand directly to the ground, flew up and jumped up and hugged Su Juan in his arms, at that moment it seemed as if time had stood still.

Su Juan was so frightened that he didn't dare to open his eyes, he only felt the wind in his ears, he was holding himself with both hands, and his feet finally fell to the ground.

Qi Yu saw her evasive expression, and a trace of loneliness crossed her heart.

"Ah Juan, it's dangerous to not be able to climb so high in the future. ”

Su Juan turned his head, brought the sycamore seed in his hand to his eyes, and said with a clear smile on his face: "Brother Qiyu, you see I got it." ”

Seeing her clear eyes and the bright lifting of the corners of her mouth, she couldn't bear to blame her, "Ah Juan, what are you doing picking sycamore seeds?"

Su Juan took out a white birdcage from the swing frame, and inside was a carrier pigeon, "Its wings are injured and it can't fly, and the sycamore seeds can stop the bleeding." ”

Su Juan raised his eyebrows and took a sycamore seed and handed it over, Qi Yu smiled knowingly, took the sycamore seed in his hand and gently crushed it, then crushed the sycamore into powder and applied it to the pigeon's body, Su Juan hurriedly tore off the corner of his underwear and bandaged the wound for it.

Su Juan reached out and touched the pigeon's smooth feathers and returned it to the cage, "I hope its injury will heal soon, fly out of this cage, and regain its freedom..... ”

He was like a bird with broken wings, locked in the cage of the palace, longing for freedom and peace in his heart.

From the day he was born in the emperor's family, he was destined to have no freedom in your life.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

Qi Yu didn't get up from the recliner to greet him, he closed his eyes directly, he didn't want to see his mother now.

The Queen Mother's eyebrows were stained with a hint of coldness, "Is this how you treat your queen mother? Look at your hard work in a few days to look like this, are you worth it for a woman?"

"Why does the queen mother have to get rid of him, he has already hidden far away?"

Empress Dowager Wei looked at each other with ice eyes, "The mourning family is thinking about the emperor's future, don't raise a tiger for that woman." ”

"Queen Mother, don't grow up under the guise of thinking about your sons, it's better to say that the queen mother is for your selfishness. ”

Seeing his son's depressed appearance, he was angry, "That's right! Their mother and son are thorns in the side of the mourning family, and the mourning family will not let go of any of them." ”

Qi Yu's lips twitched, and he was extremely disappointed in his heart, he was just a pawn used by his mother to take revenge, and he walked towards the room with messy steps.

"Stop!" the Queen Mother shouted.

Qi Yu's footsteps paused slightly, but he didn't stop, and the door of the room was closed.

Mama Zhuang took Empress Dowager Wei's arm and comforted: "Empress Dowager, the emperor is angry, let's go back first today!"

Empress Dowager Wei tried to calm the anger in her heart, walked to the door of the room, and pushed the door open.

Qi Yu was lying on the couch with his back to the door, and when he heard the Empress Dowager Wei break in, he ignored it and still lay on the couch without moving.

Empress Dowager Wei walked to the bed, "Emperor, you have made enough trouble, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and you should go to the early court tomorrow." ”

Qi Yu sat up from the couch and looked at the Empress Dowager Wei with a cold expression, "How did the father and the emperor die, the queen mother should know better than the son, the throne is what the queen mother wants, not the son's." ”

"Slap" slapped the past, and Empress Dowager Wei's angry body was trembling, "You are not a filial son, if you don't go to court again, tomorrow the mourning family will order someone to lead troops to attack Yizhou City." ”

Qi Yu looked at Empress Dowager Wei with a blank expression, "The Queen Mother will not give up attacking Yizhou, and her son is just a puppet of yours." ”
